Kershaw Leek Titanium 1660TI20CVSW
CPM-20CV
US made
Buy one then wonder if you need one . You Do !

This is one cool knife : Realistic blade thickness , great stainless steel blade alloy , distal taper , that terrific handle shape (IMO one of the very best out there = handle forward shape), for what you get (Ti and 20CV) it is practically free , thicker than standard Leek handle , a bit stronger blade point shape .

Only "down side" is it has steel liners not Ti liners or Ti frame lock . I am completely happy with this (especially for the price ) . Ultimately I would want full Ti handle with a partial liner for the liner lock . I don't care for frame locks if I can avoid them .

Nit picky details :
Not as thick as the Leek with Carbon Fiber scales over the steel liners but far thicker than the basic frame lock Leek .(JUST WHAT I WAS HOPING FOR ! ! ! )

I'm not going for a full review here . You know what a Leek is . (and if you don't THIS is the one you want to try ) .

This seems to be a Cutlery Plus special edition / sprint / specially commissioned version . May not be around long (?) .

Just got this Blackwash CKF Sokosha last week.
Upon receiving it, I completely disassembled it and buffed both scales (inside as well), the pocket clip edges and the jumping on the back-spacer.
Buffed so that the black-wash finish is faded, but not a high polish finish...just to ad a bit of contrast.
Blade, all hardware, pocket clip flats and back-spacer flats were left with the original black-wash.
Wiped everything (yes, Everything) down with break free CLP and reassembled it.

Merriken Mini Ultimatum. To be honest, other than what's on the box label, I don't know many details. This maker/knife model only recently caught my attention. In most of the YT reviews I've seen it's a frame lock with a slightly different blade shape, but this one is an inset liner lock. I've only had it about 16 hours, but feel like it's something special.

Haven’t bought any knives in quite a while, and this Endgame had been sitting in my wish list for well over a year. I had some Knife Center reward points to burn, so I took the opportunity to scratch it off the list. Unique look but not bizarro. Very solid feeling, nice size to carry, and the usual very good Kershaw build quality and action. This one will likely get some carry time.
